I tell myself what's done is done
I tell myself don't be a fool
Play the field, have a lot of fun
It's easy when you play it cool
I tell myself don't be a chump
Who cares, let him stay away
That's when the phone rings and I jump
And as I grab the phone I pray
Let it please be him, oh dear God
It must be him, It must be him, or I shall die
Or I shall die
Oh hello, hello my dear God
It must be him but it's not him
And then I die
Again, I die
After a while, I'm myself again
I take the pieces off the floor
Put my heart on the shelf again
You'll never hurt me anymore
I'm not a puppet on a string
I'd find somebody new, someday
That's when the phone begins to ring
And once again I start to pray
Let it please be him, oh dear God
It must be him, it must be him
Or I shall die, Or I shall die
Oh hello, hello my dear God
It must be him but it's not him
And then I die
Again, I die
Let it please be him
It must be him
Let it please be him
It must be him
